partypoker heads back to Vienna with €500,000 guarantee Grand Prix Austria, 29th September- 9th October

Partypoker is heading back to Vienna next month for a second edition of Grand Prix Austria. One of the most spectacular poker destinations in Europe.

The €500,000 guaranteed partypoker Grand Prix Austria takes place at Montesino Poker from 29th September to 9th October. Players choose from a host of online or live Day 1s – as well as exclusive online feeder satellites starting next Monday (28th August) from as little as $1.10.

The debut Grand Prix Austria took place in April and was a massive success. There were more than 2,500 entries for the €200+€25 buy-in event generating a €518,000 prize pool – easily beating the event’s €500k guarantee. Slovakia’s Andrej Desset took it down for €92,000. Additionally, he made history a few weeks later when he won Grand Prix Germany in Rozvadov for an additional €100,000.

Among the 344 players who made money in Vienna were European stars such as Sebastian Pauli, Konstantinos Nanos and Christophe Gross.  Additionally, partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri who finished 34th for €1,800 and Jan-Peter Jachtmann who was 227th for €400.

PartyPoker is looking forward to building on previous success

 

For the return visit in September, partypoker is again putting up a €500,000 guarantee.  Furthermore, we are hoping to beat April’s sensational turnout. Among those set to compete in Vienna are partypoker sponsored pros Marcel Luske, Natalia Breviglieri and Jan-Peter Jachtmann.

Once again, partypoker is running its popular Golden Chip Promo. The first 100 players to make Day 2 will receive a Golden Chip. If a Golden Chip player manages to make the Final Table, they win a $10k package to the Caribbean Poker Party in November.

Feeder satellites will kick off from next Monday, making it possible to qualify for Grand Prix Austria from as little as $1.10. The first online Day 1 is on partypoker on 3rd September, and costs just $120+$15 to enter. There will also be numerous live Day 1s around Austria, starting Friday 29th September and taking place at Montesino Poker.  In addition to eight partner casinos including Bregenz, Innsbruck and Salzburg.

The fantastic Grand Prix Austria structure gives players a 50,000 starting stack with all players making Day 2 guaranteed a min cash of €250. For those short on time, a series of turbo and hyper turbo Day 1 events will also be available. These are taking place both online on partypoker, and live at Montesino Poker and Concord Card Casino Simmering in Vienna.

The online Day 2 is on Saturday 7th October, with live Day 2s in Vienna on 8th October. The live final Day 3 is on 9th October at Montesino Poker.  Consequently, we will see the blind levels increase to 60 minutes.

Beautiful Cities bring more excitement for the upcoming tournament

 

The Montesino is one of Europe’s premier poker rooms with a long history of running major live poker events. There are more than 40 tables available for both tournaments and cash games. More so, they have restaurants, and sports bar with a fantastic terrace affording panoramic views across the city.

Vienna is a beautiful city located on the banks of the famous Danube river. Once home to Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Johann Strauss, the city is often described as the cultural capital of Europe. It’s easily accessible by plane or train, and the wealth of cafes, bars and restaurants make it a perfect destination for poker players.

Sponsored pro Marcel Luske said: “I am really looking forward to a return visit to Vienna. It’s such a wonderful city with great bars and restaurants, and simply stunning architecture. The Montesino Poker card room is one of the best in Europe: super friendly and knowledgeable staff – and very professional dealers. This is going to be a great event for poker players from all over the world.

partypoker LIVE President John Duthie said: “We are really thrilled to be heading back to Vienna next month. The last event was such a huge success and we expect even more players to compete in this second edition. Personally, I love Vienna – I have been coming here to play poker for more years than I care to mention and it’s always a great atmosphere. It’s also an incredibly easy city to get to, which is a major plus for poker players of all kinds.

Bet365 VIP Scheme replaced with new Loyalty Club

There’s been an important change to our Poker product, which went live as of 1st August 2017. The Loyalty Club replaced the old VIP Scheme.

Consequently, the Loyalty Club is comprised of five different ‘Loyalty Levels’:

  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamond

All new players begin on Bronze level. Players must earn status points to complete the required number of ‘Loyalty Steps’ within a monthly qualifying period to progress through the levels. Hence, Players collect 10 status points for every €1 or £1 paid in rake/fee.  All progress is reset if the player does not reach a new loyalty level before the end of the qualifying period. Lastly, Steps become harder to complete as players progress through the levels. 15 bronze steps are the equivalent of 5 silver steps.

Complete the following number of steps to progress through the Loyalty levels:

  • Bronze to Silver – 15 steps
  • Silver to Gold – 25 steps
  • Gold to Platinum – 20 steps
  • Platinum to Diamond – 85 steps

For each completed loyalty step, players are rewarded with bet365 Coins. The player progresses through the levels and earns more coins.   The player spends bet365 Coins in the Store when the player has accumulated enough to purchase a reward of their choice. Lastly, loyalty levels dictate rewards.

When a player reaches Diamond they are instantly rewarded with 2,500 additional bet365 Coins. This is also credited every quarter that they maintain their status.

bet365 Coins can also be earned via ’Loyalty Missions’.

Players are presented with a list of Loyalty Missions in the client. They select one and attempt to complete it within the month. Players can only work on one Loyalty Mission at a time.

Once the player complete their chosen Mission they are presented with a new list of Missions. All Missions will be the same as before except for the one they completed which will be replaced with a Mission of the same game type with increased difficulty and higher reward.

The Store will allow players to spend their Coins in real time for instant rewards. Each Loyalty Level will have its own specific rewards to choose from. The following types of reward can be purchased in exchange for bet365 Coins:

Cash Game Ticket Rewards, Bonus Euro Rewards, Tournament Ticket Rewards and Cash Rewards (Platinum and Diamond only).

The store can be accessed via the Poker software (download, native and mobile web).
